Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The difference in numbers put the Qing soldiers at a gradual disadvantage, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase. However, Wu Sangui and Hao Ge were both veterans accustomed to fighting. They both knew that the only thing they needed to fight at this time was one breath. Who could persist?  Whoever wins in the end is the winner.

    But at this time, someone couldn't stand it any longer. Fan Wencheng said to Hauge anxiously: "Prince Su, we can't go on like this. It's not easy for us in the Qing Dynasty to cultivate a warrior. We can't fight against the Han people in this kind of war of attrition."  ah!"

    Hauge's stern face moved, and he said coldly: "I know, but we can't withdraw now. If we withdraw, we will lose!"

    Although Fan Wencheng was a civil servant, he understood that what Hauge said was reasonable, but such a cruel loss still made him feel a pang of pain.

    How many people were there in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty?  The full attack was only over one million, and even if all the people were mobilized, they could only recruit more than 100,000 troops. Through continuous conquests and attrition in recent years, the Qing's military strength has now dropped to barely over 90,000.  This is also the main reason why Huang Taiji has not dared to invade the south in recent years.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out to the Manchu high-level people, the Han people are like the Philippine vegetables in the wild, they will grow back soon after they are cut, and they are simply inexhaustible to kill.

    Although Hauge pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, he was secretly anxious. This time he volunteered to take the job from Huang Taiji. He originally wanted to gain points by appearing in front of Huang Taiji and the Manchu civil and military ministers.

    Unexpectedly, he first encountered a group of hateful Ye Bushou, relying on the power of firearms to make them disgraced. Then he encountered Wu Sangui's cavalry and had to fight together. Hao Ge was heartbroken when he saw his troops falling continuously.  Like a knife being twisted, these people are the most precious warriors of the Qing Dynasty!

    Just when Hauge was heartbroken, Wu Sangui on the opposite side also jumped to his feet. After fighting with the Qing soldiers on the opposite side for a long time, his 6,000 cavalry had shrunk by nearly half. Although the Tatars on the opposite side also failed to gain favor, Wu Sangui  I still feel distressed and panicked.  After all, these fine knights are the foundation for his livelihood!

    After thinking for a long time, Wu Sangui looked at the six hundred elite cavalry surrounding him. These cavalry were his servants and the most elite men around him. It seemed that he had to use the last of his family resources today.

    "Wu Yong!" Wu Sangui shouted at the top of his lungs.

    "It's a humble job!"

    A young man in his mid-twenties, tall and with a tough look, immediately came over and said respectfully to Wu Sangui: "General, what are your orders?"

    Wu Sangui stared at Wu Yong carefully and said slowly: "Wu Yong. Now our army and the Tatars are in a stalemate. I need you to break the deadlock and defeat the enemy. I immediately thought of you. You can do it."  Are you here?"

    Wu Yong clasped his fists and said proudly: "Sir, although the Tatars are brave, they are not vegetarians. If I lead the team, I still can't break the deadlock. I am willing to raise my head to see you!"

    "Good!" Wu Sangui praised loudly: "You are indeed a good man from Liaodong. I have a lot of courage. If I can defeat the Tatars today, I will report it to the superintendent immediately and give you a great credit!"

    Wu Yong was overjoyed and bowed and said: "Thank you, sir, I will do my best to defeat the enemy in this lowly position!"

    Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you go ahead, I will beat the drum for you personally!"

    I don¡¯t know whether it was intentional or not, Wu Sangui and Wu Yong both just said they wanted to defeat the enemy.  No one dares to say that the enemy army was completely annihilated.

    Wu Yong got on his horse, holding a long spear, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, kill the Tatars every year!"

    ¡°Kill the Tatars!¡±

    Six hundred servants were holding spears and horses, shouting slogans and charging towards the front

    With the addition of this new force.  The Qing army, which had been gradually falling behind, finally couldn't hold on any longer, and its casualties increased rapidly.

    On the Qing army's position, a bloody Jia La Zhangjing ran up to Hauge and gasped: "Your Majesty, those Han people have sent more troops again. I I can't stand it anymore."  .You¡¯d better send more reinforcements!¡±

    "Snapped!"

    There was a crisp sound, and a whip mark appeared on the face of this Jia La Zhangjing. Hauge pointed at him and shouted angrily: "You useless slave, you can't even handle this little thing, what use do I have for you?"  !¡±

    Jia Lazhangjing sobbed: "My lord, it's not that the slaves are useless, it's that there are too many Han people. Even if the slaves have three heads and six arms, they can't hold them up!"

    "Asshole, Wu Sangui%£€#!"

    A burst of Manchu national curses blurted out from Hauge's mouth, and after a while he said: "Okay, you don't need to say any more, I will hand over the last three hundred Baya soldiers."??You, if you still can't defeat Wu Sangui, don't come to see me, just wipe your neck and commit suicide!  "

    "Hey! Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

    After hearing this, Jia La Zhangjing couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.  The three hundred Baya soldiers beside Hauge are not ordinary. They are all the elites of the Zhenghuang Banner led by Huang Taiji himself. They are the emperor's personal army and the most elite warriors in the entire Qing Dynasty.

    He believed that as long as these three hundred Baya soldiers joined, the entire war situation would be reversed. Even if it could not reverse the entire war situation, it would still be able to curb the defeat of the war situation.

    As expected, with the addition of the three hundred most elite cavalry in Haug's hands, the situation on the battlefield began to become stalemate again.

    Seeing such a scene, Wu Sangui and Haoge smiled bitterly. If this continues, unless one party bleeds out, there will never be a winner.

    Just when both sides were unable to do anything, the sky gradually became dark. When Hauge and Wu Sangui looked up at the sky at the same time, they realized that they had been fighting for a long time.

    With the intention or unintentional intention of their respective generals, the soldiers from both sides slowly broke away from contact and returned to their own formations. At this time, the thousand Qing troops who had originally been out to pursue Li Nian and his party also returned.

    A Jia La Zhangjing on the side asked: "Your Majesty, the thousand men and horses we attacked have returned, do we want to continue the fight?"

    Hauge shook his head solemnly and said bitterly: "We can't fight anymore. Our Zhenglanqi family doesn't have much wealth to begin with. If we continue to fight, this little wealth will be wiped out!"

    The Jia La Zhangjing fell silent after hearing this. The population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not large to begin with, and it was even more difficult to train a warrior. If every battle was squandered like this, the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed in less than two years.  Extinct.

    After another half an hour, the sky finally turned dark. Wu Sangui and Hauge led their troops to retreat thirty miles each.  They each treated the wounded soldiers and counted the dead and injured. The final results made Haug so distressed that he almost cried on the spot.

    In this battle, nearly half of the 5,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, and now only more than 2,000 people can still wield swords and guns. The heavy casualties made Haug so distressed that he was speechless.

    Such casualties were too great, to the point where Hauge could not bear them.  The Zhenglan Banner is one of the three superior banners and has always been led by Huang Taiji himself.

    Because Huang Taiji loved Hauge, his eldest son, he handed over the Zhenglan Banner to Hauge's command. He lost more than two thousand elites this time. After returning, Hauge didn't know how to explain to Huang Taiji.

    Looking at the sad-looking Hauge, Fan Wencheng's habit of being a loyal servant relapsed. He comforted Hauge and said, "Your Majesty, I saw today's battle with my own eyes. I really can't blame you. I will tell the truth to the Emperor after I return."  Clearly."

    When Hauge heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, and then he suddenly remembered that there was still such a spy sent by his father here. As long as he said a few nice words to his father after returning, his guilt would be small.  is it a lot?

    Thinking of this, Hauge's gaze towards Fan Wencheng immediately became more cordial than ever before. He immediately took Fan Wencheng's hands and said cordially: "Scholar Fan, I didn't expect you to be the most generous. After returning home, you will still show your kindness in front of my father."  It¡¯s up to you to say more nice words!¡±

    Fan Wencheng was not fooled by Hauge's sudden enthusiasm. He just smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is under the emperor's order and is the emperor's messenger. He must serve his master loyally and tell the truth about the situation here. The emperor is a slave."  should be done.¡±

    Although Fan Wencheng's words were neither salty nor mild, Hauge still shook his head vigorously for a while before putting it down. He also praised: "That's it. Who doesn't know that Bachelor Fan is a famous figure in our Qing Dynasty?"  A loyal minister, even the emperor is full of praise for this."

    Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly. This Hauge had previously seen that he still had a nose, not a nose, and not eyebrows, but once he asked for help, he immediately put on this look again. It was really one moment and another

    Not to mention that while Hauge was racking his brains on how to explain to Huang Taiji, Wu Sangui was also counting the casualties with a broken heart.

    "We have lost more than 3,000 of our 6,000 elite cavalry. Now we have less than 3,000 brothers left to fight!"

    After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Wu Sangui looked ahead blankly and kept mumbling: "Big losses, big losses this time!"

    Wu Sangui felt distressed. Most of the six thousand elites were lost. After returning, he didn't know how to explain to her father. These were the elites that they and their father had worked hard for several years and spent countless money to train. Now most of them were lost in one battle.  , how to not make him feel bad!

    Seeing the pain in Wu Sangui¡¯s eyes,Wu Yong came over to comfort him and said: "Sir, don't worry. Although we have lost thousands of brothers today, our gains are not small. Although we were unable to clean the battlefield just now, we also captured more than a hundred heads. As long as  Today we will report the results of the battle to the Superintendent, and the Superintendent will not treat us badly, and he will give us a share of the weapons, armor, food, silver, etc.!"

    "Well, that's the truth!" Wu Sangui then thought about it. Although he failed to complete the order of the supervisor today, there was a reason for the incident. He couldn't blame himself entirely. Besides, he fought so fiercely. In order to prevent the soldiers from being chilled, what could the supervisor do?  I won¡¯t treat myself badly.

    Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's mood gradually improved again
